My new short story, “The Man With the Six-Foot Soul,” is live on the Red Fez. It’s about how the pandemic has battered our sanity, stretching the boundaries of truth and illusion, past and present.

The man is a presence in the lives of Emily and Tyler, a young couple struggling to stay together amid the chaos. She seeks a lifeline, he worries about her behavior, and the tensions bring them close to the breaking point. Will the relationship become one more casualty of the past year?

If you’re a “Twilight Zone” fan, you might notice echoes of a highly-acclaimed episode. I’ll let you figure out which one. And please check out the other great pieces in the new edition of the Red Fez. Take care and be safe.
